Prinz Von Hessen Dachsfilet Riesling 2010

Product code: 9PVH5B2010

Wonderfully textured with a hint of sweetness to the intense, minerally, spicy limey fruit. There are some richer tropical notes too. Brilliant precision and nice tension between the richness and minerality.

How to say it

Prince Von Hessun Daksfilet Reezling

Product guide note

This wine is made from 100% Riesling and comes from the Rheingau region of Germany. 'Dachsfilet' translates as badger, hence the picture on the label. It is a complex wine with juicy lime and lemon fruit and is very crisp and mouth-watering.

Production information

Producer: Prinz Von Hessen

Prinz Von Hessen is located on a wide sweep of south-facing vineyards on the Rhine. It has holdings in some of the best vineyards in the Rheingau and 20 of the 30ha of vines are planted on first growth sites. The vineyards are protected from the north by the Taunus hills and warmed by the sun to the south. It is the very heart of fine German wine production, with the ancient Schloss Johannisberg (where Riesling was first planted in 1720) located just behind one of PVH’s vineyards.

Riesling is an extremely versatile grape, but if you think this poses a food-pairing nightmare, don’t despair. We’ve tried a whole range of dishes with different styles of Riesling to bring you our definitive ‘Summer of Riesling’ guide.

Despite being steeped in vinous history and respected throughout the wine world, Germany as a wine category is often overlooked and underestimated. But there is a new group of premium producers – both traditional and modern in approach – creating very exciting wines across the country.

We've rounded up five of our favourites for the festive season - from classic Champagne to an unfiltered Spatburgunder.

Harvest came early for many of these European regions, and volumes are significantly down – with the exception of Turkey. As with all of Europe, this is mainly down to April frosts and the August heatwave. Quality remains good, but it is likely pricing will increase in some areas.

While global production is estimated to be down 5% from last year and with many European regions affected by adverse climatic conditions, the overall impression in Europe is one of good – and sometimes even excellent – quality. We spoke to some of our producers in England, Portugal, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Hungary and Greece to ...
